Hmmm. The source for the "FSD is safer" claim might not be wholly independent: "Tesla’s data shows that Full Self-Driving miles are twice as safe as manual driving"
Now that they are offering this program, they should start getting much better data by being able to correlate claims with actual FSD usage. They might be viewing this program partially as a data acquisition project to help them insure autonomous vehicles more broadly in the future.
In fact, Tesla Insurance, the people who already have direct access to the data already loses money on every claim [1].

What do you mean?
Its their own bet to make
Teslas only do FSD on motorways where you tend to have far fewer accidents per mile.
Also, they switch to manual driving if they can't cope, and because the driver isn't paying attention this usually results in a crash. But hey, it's in manual driving, not FSD, so they get to claim FSD is safer.
FSD is not and never will be safer than a human driver.
They have been end to end street level for the past two years.
It’s not perfect but I’d consider it a smashing success for something I rely on for safely transporting my family every day.
They are not safe and they will never be safe.
Why will they never be safe?
Also can you define safe?
Debatable, but you won't be convinced.
> they will never be safe.
Define safe? Would be interested to see you provide a benchmark that is reasonable, and lock it in now so we can see if this statement is falsified in the future.
